# flash-next-seat — Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (abliterated) on fv-ml1 GPU 2, :8022. # Copy to .env on the host at /opt/docker/compose/flash-next-seat/.env. # # This is the INITIAL configuration, stood up 2026-09-13. Values marked FIRST-BOOT # are deliberately conservative and expected to be revised once the seat has # reported its own memory budget and been bisected for depth. Do not treat them as # measured — they are not yet. # ── Image ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # ⚠ MUST contain vLLM #54371 (UVA PLE-offload), merged 2026-09-09T14:32Z. # Verified by ancestry rather than version string: this commit is +150 / behind_by=0 # from merge commit 3116c5d06bfe76501b3dd6b5434bfc7f3274f5e7. v0.29.0 does NOT # contain it (cut ~6h before the merge) and neither does any nightly- tag # dated 2026-09-09 or earlier — the nightly build runs ~06:16 UTC.

Without this the checkpoint needs ~126 GiB of VRAM and will not # start on one 96 GiB card. fv-ml1 has 566 GB RAM / ~388 GB available, so the # host side is not a constraint here — unlike every DGX-Spark report upstream, # where host and device share one unified pool and "offload" frees nothing. FN_ENGRAM_CONFIG={"cpu_offload": true} # ── Memory and context ────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # FIRST-BOOT. Card is dedicated, so 0.90 (the vLLM recipe's own figure for offload # configs) is not competing with a neighbour. Expected resident weights ~78 GiB of # 95.6, leaving ~8-9 GiB for KV + activation inside the 0.90 budget. # ⚠ NEXT STEP after first boot: read vLLM's budget line and replace this with an # explicit --kv-cache-memory in BYTES. A ratio sizes the KV calculation but does # not bound peak activation — that is what bit stacks/mog-sec twice on 2026-09-10. FN_GPU_MEM_UTIL=0.90 # FIRST-BOOT. 128K, against a 262,144 native ceiling. Raising this is gated on a # depth bisect with a NON-REPEATING prompt, because two open upstream issues make # depth the risky axis: #54764 (PLE short-conv prefill pads every request in a # batch to the batch-max query length) and #54919 (long prefill starving decode # for 3-7 minutes).
